Water Blessing

“My mornings now begin with a water blessing. The day’s water is positioned in the special place of honor at the center of my altar, surrounded by candles, crystals, representations of saints, and other ceremonial objects.

I breathe in the power and gifts of the four elements and directions, each in its turn, fully feeling each of them in my physical form.
